Cold front coming through tonight, don't be fooled by the fog and 70 degree temperatures this afternoon, we are gonna be in the 20's with freezing rain tomorrow morning, Thursday, and possible freeze again on Friday morning. Hopefully this is our last freeze for the season ( average last freeze is Feb 23rd for Austin, TX )

PROTECT THOSE PIPES, PLANTS, and PETS ( wind chill will be in the TEENS ( 17 F wind chills predicted.)

NO need to water this week, keep those irrigation systems OFF as long as possible. It is predicted that we will have a cooler and drier than normal Spring and with the lakes at 36% full, the longer we can hold off on watering the better for our water supply.
